A little bit about me. I am a photographer, Beatle-maniac, and horror film junkie. I describe myself as an emotional + visual storyteller, and a lover of warm, nostalgic tones; a golden light enthusiast with a free spirited heart + soul.
I'm Amanda, and I am so happy you're here.
connecticut motherhood photographer
creating impactful & timeless images that will give you memories that will last a lifetime
My mission is to collaborate with you to create impactful, timeless images that give will you memories that will last a lifetime. Motherhood photography is where I shine, but I adore a good love story as well! Being entrusted to capture your most beautiful moments is a privilege, and my inspiration comes from the things that surround us every day.
My journey in photography has taught me how to emotively tell a story through my lens- that a photograph should stir a sense of nostalgia, and that you should feel something inside when you look at it. There is so much more to it than just taking pretty pictures. My focus is for your session to be centered around a narrative and a location that tells the story of YOU. Let's make it happen.

"We had a bit of a difficult time with our toddler throughout the session and she was so amazing with her and us while we tried to keep everyone calm. She found great ways to incorporate our toddler while still having the main focus be on our newborn. We had many laughs and really enjoyed our time with her. Her skill is exceptional and it shows through our beautiful photos and countless compliments we get on them. Highly recommend her and have deemed her our forever photographer! "
"What a wonderful experience and the most beautiful photos. Amanda is kind, professional and extremely patient."

"We originally chose Ash + Pine as our wedding photographer because I had a specific vision with a warm, vintage vibe and her style fit perfectly. Now, we will continue to choose Ash + Pine for any future events we want captured not only for her photography style, but because Amanda is such a wonderful person and truly good at what she does. Amanda went so above and beyond on our wedding day, she captured so many emotions that still make me cry each time I scroll through our pictures, and I am certain the day would not have gone as smoothly without her guidance."
"She is professional, passionate, punctual, personable. and the pictures? those just speak for themselves. 11/10 recommend."

"Everyone knows that when you have professional photos done it’s uncomfortable, but I promise you Amanda makes it just the opposite of that. Amanda takes such pride in her work and it absolutely shows - she will make you take a photo or two over again to get the perfect shot; I mean who else would do that? She made this experience so wonderful and I will 10000000% be using her again."
"Amanda is absolutely amazing, professional, respectful of your home & what you want to do, genuine, and super funny."
